KEEP theFLAME of LIBERTY burning: INFORMYOURSELVES !!

President Eisenhower's farewell address to the nation, January 1961 (excerpt)

"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing
for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty
may prosper together."

"Any People who are willing to surrender essential liberties, for a little temporary safety, will deserve to receive neither liberty or safety"

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

"Any People who expect to be both IGNORANT and FREE, in a state of CIVILIZATION, expects what NEVER was and NEVER will be."
